France firmly backs Israel’s security and calls accusations of antisemitism against two-state supporters baseless.
France has restated its strong commitment to Israel’s protection, aligning with its classification of Hamas as a terrorist group, just like Canada and the UK. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot made it clear that Paris firmly stands with Israel when it comes to security matters.
Two-State Solution Supporters Defended
Minister Barrot also rejected claims that those who push for a two-state solution are supporting Hamas or antisemitism. He described those accusations as not only false but also harmful, calling them “absurd and slanderous.”
